VANCOUVER, Wash., April 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Riverview Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq GSM: RVSB) (“Riverview” or the “Company”) headquartered in Vancouver, WA, the holding company parent of Riverview Bank, announced that on April 24, 2025, its Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program. Under this repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to $2.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, in the open market, based on prevailing market prices, or in privately negotiated transactions. Once the repurchase program is effective, the repurchase program will continue until the earlier of the completion of the repurchase or 12 months after the effective date, depending upon market conditions. “We continue to explore opportunities to enhance shareholder value and we believe capitalizing on this opportunity to repurchase common stock is a prudent way of deploying excess capital,” said Nicole Sherman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Transmitted on Globe Newswire on April 29, 2025 at 6:00AM PDT. Riverview senior Carter Loughren warms up before a game at Springdale on April 23. The championship belt awarded to Riverview baseball’s player of the game The belt has been distributed numerous times since the Raiders’ first win March 19. The Raiders completed a dominating series sweep of Springdale on April 23 as senior Johnny Bertucci and sophomore Ian Stempfer combined for an efficient three-inning no hitter. Sophomore Ashton Saunders was presented the belt. He contributed a double as part of a 12-hit attack and scored two runs in the 18-0 rout that put Riverview at 12-2 overall and 9-1 in Section 3-2A. “Somebody usually rises to the top in a game, but if there are several who are deserving, the guys will talk among themselves and figure it out,” said Riverview head coach Bill Gras said. “We will write it on a white board, who got (the belt) every game. A freshman, Dom DelRosso, pinch hit in a game, got a double and stole a base. They gave the belt to him. That just reinforced everything about this being a close-knit team. It meant so much to him. Owen Orbich, another freshman, also got it.” Sophomore Lukas Duncan presented the belt to Saunders after the April 23 victory. He was in possession of the belt following a 10-0 victory over the Dynamos the day before. Duncan earned the win in that game as he allowed just two hits over six innings. He walked three and struck out nine. It was another strong pitching performance from a deep staff. The Raiders pitchers have thrown 10 shutouts. Duncan improved to 5-0. “I was a little anxious for the game,” he said. “It was one of my first home starts. But I got dialed in and just worried about executing my pitches. I trusted the guys behind me. My fielders made plays, and that gave me confidence.” Duncan also drew confidence from again throwing to his twin brother, Miles, Riverview’s starting catcher. “It feels really good when we are on the same page,” Lukas Duncan said. “There aren’t too many days where he doesn’t know what I’m thinking or I don’t know what he’s thinking. That makes it easier to pitch to him. We really trust each other.” The lineup also supported Duncan’s pitching efforts with nine hits. Senior Carter Loughren helped the cause with two hits and three RBIs. Loughren missed a couple of early games because of a Model UN trip to Italy, but when he came back to the team, he worked right back in with a group that had jumped into the contenders’ mix in WPIAL Class 2A. “I would keep track of the scores and text the guys after the game,” Loughren said. “Obviously, they succeeded while I was gone. As much fun as I had on my trip, I was super excited to get back. I had only played one or two games before I left. “As soon as I came back, I was ready. Now, we’re out here winning games and doing it as a team. Everyone is contributing. We played for each other. No one goes out each game trying to be a hero. Whenever there is an opportunity, the next person steps up. We’re looking forward to seeing how far we can go.” Riverview was scheduled to pay a visit to Serra Catholic for a nonsection game April 24. The game was to be contested past the deadline for this week’s edition. A section bye week followed with a home game against Leechburg scheduled for May 1. Riverview will close its section slate with a monster two-game series with Our Lady of the Sacred Heart on May 5-6 that most likely will decide the section champion. The Chargers improved to 7-1 with a series sweep of South Side (5-3) on April 23 and were set to face Carlynton in a two-game set the following week. Riverview’s only section loss came at the hands of South Side, 16-2, on April 14. “It was just one of those days,” Gras said. “We didn’t pitch, we didn’t hit, and (South Side) did. It was that simple.” The Raiders players roared to a 15-0 win in the rematch two days later. Riverview didn’t score until the fourth, but it broke out for four runs in the frame before tallying five runs in the sixth and six more in the seventh. Senior Eli DeVita and Lukas Duncan were strong at the plate and each drove in three runs. The Raiders collected 14 hits, and Lukas Duncan earned the win with nine strikeouts while giving up three hits and walking one. “I think it kind of played into our hands a little bit,” Gras said. “South Side moved the game from Tuesday to Wednesday. It rained Tuesday, so we had a big powwow in the locker room, and it gave us the chance to talk to the boys, and they had a chance to talk. “It was amazing to see them stand up and talk about what happened in that first game. It was good. I think they needed that (losing situation). I think it humbled them a little bit and reinforced the fact that they need to come out ready to go every game. Nothing is guaranteed. They came out and hit the ball well the next day and got good pitching.” If Javascript is disabled browser, to place orders please visit the page where our photos are available to purchase The super-duper left-hander for the Riverview Rams is not just the best softball hurler in the area Cole doesn’t really know how dominant she is “But I don’t really check them out that much But they’re eye-popping enough to force every Riverview foe to draw a circle around the girl in the Rams’ circle Riverview will enter the district tournament with a record of 19-4 she has allowed 66 hits and just six earned runs for an ERA of 0.32 Cole is holding opponents to a .142 batting average and a .170 on-base percentage she has thrown 1,835 pitches with just one wild pitch and one hit batter where she carries a .438 average with two home runs Watch FHSAA softball playoffs on NFHS Network For her fellow Rams, playing behind Cole can be like posing for a photo. She averages 13 strikeouts a game, which means a lot of non-action for her teammates in the field. “They always joke around that they say they’re bored out there and they wish there were more plays for them,” she said. It’s not a laughing matter when opponents step into the box to face Cole. Just 43 feet separate the pitcher’s rubber from home plate in softball, but Cole’s stride enables her to release the ball much closer than that. “I get my power from my stride, I would say,” she said. And that stride enables her to deliver the ball at more than 60 miles per hour. “I haven’t been clocked in a long time,” Cole said. The speed of the pitch, called a riser, combined with a fastball and occasional change-up, along with her left-handed delivery, make it doubly tough on hitters, who are unable to get on top of the ball. And when they do connect, “it will be an easy pop-up,” she said. “I don’t know if it’s too fast, but I think it’s probably my spin. I’m left-handed, so it’s kind of harder to hit left-handed people.” It’s also hard to hit a left-handed pitcher who throws in the 60s, has a bulldog mentality in the circle, and who also features a screwball Cole said she can throw harder than her fastball. Breaking the opposite direction of a curveball, the screwball has become a wipeout pitch Cole throws with confidence. “But it scares me sometimes throwing inside,” she said. “I would say my screwball is my fastest pitch.” "This season she has learned how to pitch rather than just relying on his rise ball," Riverview head coach Tom Forkan said. "She rarely throws her best pitch anymore early in the count. If you check her numbers from last year to this season, her walks are down by 80% and her strikeouts are up." Cole started out as a pitcher and catcher, but somewhere along the way, settled for throwing the softball rather than catching it. She said she has a great rapport with Rams catcher Ella Trandem, who calls the pitches and whom Cole rarely shakes off. “She pretty much knows what I want to throw,” she said. “We’re very similar. We both have really bad anxiety.” And what does the future pitcher at State College of Florida get anxious about? “I don’t know,” she said. “I get anxious about a lot of things. I would say I’m very hard on myself. I just really get down on myself, especially with walking batters because I know I can do much better.” With just 15 walks allowed in 131.1 innings, it’s safe to say the reasons for Cole’s anxiety should be few. At the beginning of the season, she said she was “a little scared” at the team’s newness. “We had a new team,” she said, “but I would say at this point of the season, I’m very confident. I’m confident with my pitching, but also if they hit the ball, then it’s like, ‘OK, I have great defense behind me.’’’ Shop top-rated travel products and services to help you save on your next trip:  Brendan Healy, left, with Riverview Credit Union, and Don Harris, right, with Kraton Belpre Federal Credit Union, announced the merger of their companies.

The decision, she said, was a difficult one because of her love of the game, her love of coaching and love of Riverview and its athletes. But when she thought about time she wanted to spend with family members — both older and younger — she felt it was a decision that was right for her at this time. “Coaching, especially at the varsity level, you’re going full over the summer, and, of course, in the winter and also over holidays like Thanksgiving,” said Catanzaro, who guided the Raiders to the WPIAL playoffs in each of the past four years and compiled an overall record of 40-40. “I haven’t had a Thanksgiving with my family in over 10 years. Family wasn’t able to come here, and we weren’t able to drive up there for a day. It was weighing on me, and I knew I wasn’t going to have this window of opportunity again.” Catanzaro, who grew up near Williamsport and was a 2,000-point scorer at Loyalsock Township High School before playing Division I basketball at Pitt, hosted her parents recently and also traveled to Florida with her 86-year-old mother-in-law. “I am so fortunate they are all relatively healthy, and we can still enjoy them. It was just time. There were a lot of sacrifices that came along with coaching,” she said. “But it was such a hard decision, because when you love something so much and it is part of your DNA your whole life, it’s hard to walk away. I will miss it.” Catanzaro coached in Riverview School District 23 years from when her kids were young through junior high and then the varsity team. She served six years as a varsity assistant to Keith Stitt through the challenging covid-affected 2020-21 season. The Raiders went 6-7 overall and 4-6 in Section 3-A and entered the open WPIAL tournament. Stitt retired after the season, and, in July, Catanzaro was elevated to head coach. Catanzaro said developing leadership qualities on and off the court was just as important as improving players’ skills on the hardwood. She said her players were like family to her. “We just had wonderful fellowship time together,” Catanzaro said. “I said at our banquet a few weeks ago that if we didn’t win the WPIAL or state championship but great memories were made all along the way, then that is the most important thing. It was about playing a part in the growth of kids becoming young adults.” Riverview this past season went 14-5 overall and earned the No. 7 seed for the WPIAL Class 2A playoffs. The Raiders led Rochester by double digits in their first-round game at Kiski Area, but the Rams rallied for a three-point victory. It was a heartbreaking and sudden end to the season and now marks Catanzaro’s final game on the Riverview sideline. The team’s lone seniors — Kat Tsambis and Lily Bauer — made a profound impact on this year’s Riverview playoff-qualifying team. Tsambis led the team in scoring at 18.3 points per game and was recognized as the Valley News Dispatch Player of the Year. She played in the Cager Classic all-star game and will represent the Raiders at the Roundball Classic next month at Geneva College. Bauer joined Tsambis at the Cager Classic, and, on Tuesday, she was nominated for the WPIAL’s James Collins Scholar-Athlete Award which presents a $1,000 scholarship to 20 winners who shine in the categories of athletics, academics and school and community service. Catanzaro said she wouldn’t rule out a return to high school coaching one day. While the athletic department and the school district administration handle the process of hiring the next girls basketball coach, Catanzaro said she will have everything well organized and written out so it will be a smooth transition for whomever takes over. “I want them to succeed immediately and have every resource available to them,” she said. Catanzaro said she is confident the returning players, led by current juniors Isabel Chaparro and Lana Lynch, will take the lead for the team and keep it going strong. “I know they will rise to the challenge with their abilities and their leadership,” she said. Athletic director Andre Carter, who also served this past season with Catanzaro as an assistant, said he will remember simply how much Catanzaro cared. “That stood out to me so much, with how well she communicated with the girls and how she motivated them and got the most out of them,” said Carter, who first developed a connection and friendship when he went up against her as the head coach at Leechburg. “There were so many things she did to make sure the girls knew how much they were valued. Her shoes will be hard to fill, for sure.” Carter said the search for the new coach should begin soon, with someone in place before the summer workouts and leagues begin. — The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a fatal shooting that happened Tuesday Deputies say they responded to reports of a shooting and found a man with at least one gunshot wound to the upper body The victim was quickly taken to a local hospital but died shortly after arrival Officials say the shooter remained at the scene and is cooperating with detectives The Public Affairs Office is holding off on naming the victim until the next of kin has been notified Detectives are also conferring with the State Attorney’s Office regarding the details of the investigation The incident caused a major traffic backup on U.S Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office ABC Action News is following this story and this article will be updated as new information becomes available Riverview’s Lukas Duncan is a member of the 2025 baseball team.

I would be good at it because I also play volleyball and basketball and they involve a lot of jumping and I feel like I jump pretty high How much has being a jumper translated to your play in volleyball and basketball but I’m not doing any crazy back bends in volleyball or basketball Long and triple jump also help in those areas as well I’ve been working really hard to get to 5-5 and 5-6 and I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a gold medal so it was nice to come back this year and win gold That was the second time this week you cleared that height so it was nice having them all there to support me and hitting it again on Thursday at counties was really exciting How many attempts did it take you to clear 5-5 at Armstrong and at counties I think I cleared it both times on my second attempt What’s the school record for girls high jump Do you think you can match or beat that before the season’s over but I’m going to try really hard to try and get the record next year Last year in the WPIAL championships you placed seventh with a jump of 5-1 but cleared 5-2 earlier in that season How did you go about increasing your jump this year I feel that this year I’ve done a lot more work with the sprinters because speed is a big thing with high jump I’ve been jumping almost nonstop since the end of basketball season It’s also huge to stay healthy and hydrated You also compete in triple jump and long jump What are your personal bests in those events Which of the three jumps do you enjoy most I feel like a lot of people don’t do it because they think it’s too hard and I feel that can get a little overwhelming Do you think it’s because triple jump is very technical and you have to be precise with those jumps You have to be right on the dot on every jump How do you try to mitigate the stress you put on your legs Sometimes I’ll do recovery days and sit in a sauna blanket and I’ll take Epsom salt baths because my shins are always hurting I love that everyone is together as a team and there’s not a lot of body-to-body contact in that sport and anything that goes wrong I only have myself to blame What individual goals did you set for yourself this season in track and field I want to make it to states this year and get better than seventh at WPIALs and I want to clear or beat 5-7 by the end of the year I feel like I’m always doing something and she’s always making cute stuffed animals What’s one thing you couldn’t live without I depend a lot on my AirPods because I’m always listening to music If you were given money to start your own business My mom and I used to always say we would create a restaurant for mountain pies because she would always make them at camp If you could compare yourself to an animal My grandpa used to always call me that because he

(12-3) over rival Springdale on Tuesday in a Section 3-2A matchup doubled and drove in two more runs as the Raiders rolled the Dynamos What was working for you on the mound in Tuesday’s game and it helped to set my secondary pitches up Were you feeling fatigued at all toward the end You could definitely tell I was starting to slow down but you have to stay locked in and continue to give it everything you can Do you remember how many pitches you threw Do you also remember what their two hits were One was a slow roller to second base that the batter ran out and the second was another slow roller to first Nothing my fielders could really do about those balls Johnny Bertucci continued the inning with a single and that left runners on first and third and I knew that all I had to do was to get one of the runs in What happened in the at-bats where you tripled and doubled on Wednesday so I went into the game on Wednesday with the same mindset of being aggressive at the plate Didn’t try to change anything or do anything different It was a big game because it was a section game What was it like handing your rivals those shutout losses What positions do you play when you’re not pitching How do like the new section the team’s been in this year There’s a lot of good teams in our section and we’ve been playing very well against them and they did a good job of putting it together I’m always excited to play a section game What’s been the key to the team’s success this year We hang out with each other a lot outside of the baseball season I think that makes us stand out from other teams and you’ll notice that when you watch one of our games What’s the more impressive stat to you that the team has scored 143 runs or has only allowed 37 What’s it going to take to make a deeper playoff run this year we need to respond immediately to win those tight games We can’t expect to beat everyone by double digits so we need to be comfortable and respond to giving up runs I wanted to be a reliable starter that would help our team win games What time in the past would you most like to live Probably back before the United States became a nation I’m a big “Fast and Furious” fan and I think he would be a cool person to pick their brain and I enjoy working out and hanging out with my friends but it would be pretty cool to be able to do stuff like that If you could choose one song to

are doing business with now,” he said Walsh said Riverview does not have any sort of grand plan for continued expansion in this area The ability to find locations where neighboring farmers are willing to produce alfalfa and corn silage and accept the land application of manure from a dairy is key to whether a new dairy is developed “We can’t grow unless everybody allows us to grow,” he said It is looking to develop its first dairy in North Dakota Riverview indicated it needed approximately 7,300 acres of cropland for the application of a potential 85 million gallons of manure annually The permit application for the Grace dairy sought an annual water appropriation of up to 120 million gallons although Walsh indicated the usage at its dairies is closer to 100 million gallons Groundwater monitoring at its existing locations and test pumping at the Grace site indicate there is sufficient groundwater capacity in the area for the operations “Really no indication there will be a problem,” he told the commissioners in response to questions The new dairy will create 50 full-time jobs Walsh said the majority of the dairy employees are Hispanic The company works with an e-verification

reducing some of the travel lanes on US 301 There’ll be only two northbound and two southbound open.” Keep in mind that businesses will stay open “We’re going to keep traffic flowing as best we can but there are going to be some challenges,” said Carson “We want motorists to leave early and check their maps.” drivers are hopeful in the long run it’ll make their ride a little smoother “I think

Carbondale started a new student-led news initiative during the 2024-25 school year to help build community and to teach kids the importance of being bilingual.  The news is live-streamed on TVs around the school every morning during the students “free breakfast in the classroom program” as they go over the latest school news The announcements are made in both English and Spanish helping coagulate two different communities into one.  “The student-led newscast is a shining example of how we elevate student voices and give them a platform to showcase their leadership,” Adam Volek the principal of Riverview School said in a news release “Our students lead with kindness and responsibility bringing joy and a positive tone to our school community each day This initiative is a testament to the power of student agency and it also highlights the superpower of being bilingual.” but the kids have taken over the project and made it their own started to turn the idea into a formal reality at the end of last school year by forming the structure and recruiting certain students and decide which subjects will be in English and which will be in Spanish The stream ends every morning with a full-school breathing exercise to help create a smooth transition into class “We were just looking for a good way to start the day,” Hook said “The way the students have taken to it is wonderful to see.” Everyday has a different theme to get the kids involved No matter if it’s motivational Monday the morning announcements at Riverview have become a staple of their morning.  and bilingual students take turns informing their fellow students of news that actually apply.  “Having morning announcements has been a way to help shape how each day starts,” Volek said “Our kids seeing themselves throughout our school as leaders and bilingual super stars is an important part of our mission as a school Our community sees that we hold both Spanish and English as important languages and are able to see the pride that our students have in their abilities to speak both languages.” “I really enjoy the buy-in that is promoted throughout the entire school,” Hook said “Students receive a lot of important information from their peers I love the excitement of our scholars as they lead the news every morning They work hard to prepare for it and they write the ‘news’ from their heart The little kids see the newscasters and think of them as ‘celebrities’ and role models.” The few students that are a part of the production team have begun to build a celebrity status within the small school community The media members realize the power from their own voice and the student-led morning tradition further affirms the strong community that the RIverview School is setting out to achieve.  “The student-led news cast is important for our school because it helps everyone in our school stay connected and promotes relevant information around the events  happening each day This is a good way for the kids in the announcements to use teamwork,” Lois The buy-in that Hook refers to doesn’t only apply to the select few students that are a part of the Morning Announcement team The entire school has rallied around the new school tradition and everyone from the young students to their teachers enjoy the new start to the day.  “The announcements are a great way to learn about what is going on from the kids,” Eli Rojas Capilla “It is fun to receive the information from the middle schoolers Readers around Glenwood Springs and Garfield County make the Post Independent’s work

They controlled the boards, forced turnovers and made shots in the fourth quarter, and they converted free throws down to stretch to come away with a 57-53 victory over the No. 7 Raiders. “We just didn’t want this to be our last game of the year,” Rams coach Ron Moncrief said. “We didn’t want to send the seniors out that way. We knew Riverview was a great team and was really well-coached. We knew we had to play a lot better than we did in the first half. We were able to turn it around and make plays and play our game down the stretch.” Rochester, which finished tied with No. 8 Laurel for third place in Section 1 behind No. 1 Neshannock and No. 2 Aliquippa, improved to 10-12 overall and advanced to the WPIAL quarterfinals Friday where it will meet the Quips for the third time this season. Aliquippa defeated Carmichaels, 79-6, in a first-round game Tuesday. “Aliquippa is so strong in so many areas,” Moncrief said. “They are very physical. We know them well from playing them twice already. The girls will be ready. But I want the girls to celebrate this win tonight, and then we will prepare the next couple of days.” Riverview, a WPIAL-playoff participant for the eighth year in a row, capped its season at 14-5. It was the final varsity game for seniors Kat Tsambis and Lily Bauer. Tsambis and Bauer fouled out in the game’s final minute. “From the beginning to the end of this whole season, the two seniors knew what they needed to do to lead this team,” Riverview coach Jill Catanzaro said with tears welling up in her eyes. “They hung in there and gave it all they could. They helped a lot of the younger players along and helped raise their potential to where we had a really successful season. “As a team collectively, these girls gave so much of themselves. It really hurts for it to end this way, and it’s pretty emotional for them right now. But they have nothing to hang their heads about.” Junior guard Isabel Chaparro led the Raiders with 25 points, but she was limited to two points in the fourth. Chaparro hit a 3-pointer and then nailed a jumper at the midway point of the third to give Riverview a 41-26 lead. Rochester’s leading scorer during the regular season, junior guard Tia Yellock, followed with a jumper at the 3:54 mark that started a 13-6 run to close out the quarter. Juliette Brun, a junior, hit a layup with 6:34 left to put Riverview ahead 51-43. The Raiders went cold from the field after that. They missed nine straight shots, including several layups. They also turned the ball over six times in the fourth, and Rochester pulled down a majority of the rebound chances at both ends of the court. “We had our chances to keep the lead,” Catanzaro said. “It was shot selection at times, and then we had some situations with foul trouble where they were able to do some things offensively, get some second chances, and convert shots. The girls battled, but we just weren’t able to hold on.” Junior Kamryn Newman sank two free throws with 56 seconds left to give the Rams a 54-53 lead. It was their first advantage since they were up 8-7 with 2:07 to play in the first quarter. Newman hit 1 of 2 from the line 17 seconds later, and Yellock connected on 2 of 4 from the free-throw line in the waning seconds to help seal it for Rochester. Riverview had the ball down three with 9 seconds to go, but a turnover led to Tsambis fouling Yellock to set up Yellock’s final trip to the line with 4 seconds on the clock. “The girls played hard no matter what the score was,” Moncrief said. “I give them a lot of credit for overcoming so much adversity. They showed a lot of toughness the way they were able to get the lead and then finish it out.” Yellock led all scorers with 27 points, 11 in the fourth quarter. “I though Tia played really well,” Moncrief said. “She demands a lot of attention. She maintained her composure and also did what she could to help keep her teammates involved, and they produced. It was just a total team effort, and that’s what we needed in order to beat Riverview.” Newman finished with 14 points, and senior Marque Taylor chipped in 12 for the Rams. Tsambis scored 14 points in her finale, and Bauer added nine points, four blocks and eight rebounds for the Raiders, who came in winners of eight of their final nine regular-season games.

The Riverview girls basketball team won 14 games this past season and lost just five. Of those 14 games, a couple of them stand out for senior guard Katerina Tsambis. “I would have to say beating some of the bigger schools we played like Freeport and Deer Lakes, those were just really good wins for the team,” she said. “It showed that even with our numbers and any adversity that we were up against, we were able to come together and compete with really good teams and players. They were some of our most fun games. “Everyone stepped into their roles. The coaches really made an emphasis on everyone playing their roles for the team to be successful. If you were the scorer, the screener, or the rebounder, everyone settled into their roles as the season went on, and we worked really well together and were flowing nicely.” Riverview was successful as it finished 8-2 in Section 4-2A — it’s only two losses came against section champion Winchester Thurston — and took part in the WPIAL playoffs for an eighth year in a row. Tsambis, one of just two seniors on the Raiders roster along with forward Lily Bauer, rose to the occasion numerous times throughout 2024-25. She averaged a team-best 18.3 points, scored 20 or more points nine times, and reached double figures in 18 of Riverview’s 19 games. She also provided 5.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 3.5 steals per game. For her efforts in helping lead the Raiders throughout the season, Tsambis has been selected the Valley News Dispatch Girls Basketball Player of the Year among a group of candidates which included Highlands’ Tyarah Woody and Fox Chapel’s Natalia Schaffer. “Kat was such a competitive player,” Riverview coach Jill Catanzaro said. “It didn’t matter who the opponent was. That is what drove her from Day 1, from seventh grade on. With her teammates, she was, ‘Let’s get focused. We’re here to win!’ It always came from her competitive side and the desire for her and everyone else on the team to prepare their best to be able to play their best. That is just her. “When she’s committed to something like this team and to winning, there’s no stopping her. When you look at people who get hired for jobs, I was just reading in an article the other day that employers want those people because they are the ones who figure out how to win, how to compete and how to get the job done.” Tsambis said she was even more comfortable this year in having that point guard role. “I had the ball in my hands the majority of the time, so I knew I had to be that player who could score but also assist others,” Tsambis said. “I had so many more assists this year, and I was proud of that. I also wanted to put an emphasis on being that person and player my teammates could rely on both in the game and outside the game. At the end of the day, I just wanted to be recognized as a leader.” Tsambis said it was an emotional night Feb. 18 in Riverview’s WPIAL first-round game against Rochester. The Raiders seemed to be in control and on their way to a win, but the Rams were able to rally in the second half for a 57-53 victory. Tsambis scored 14 points in the game with junior guard Isabel Chaparro tallying a season-best 25. Tsambis said the playoff loss didn’t take away from all that the team accomplished this season, one which helped cap her special career. “I think the memories and relationships made with my teammates is what I will remember the most,” said Tsambis who is considering playing basketball in college. “I saw myself grow as a player and a person. If you could’ve seen me from right before my freshman year to now, it’s not even the same person. Basketball and being a part of this team has really helped me grow in so many positive ways.” Tsambis, a member of the Riverview track and field team this spring, plans to study kinesiology in college and still is deciding where that will take place. She said Penn State is an option, but basketball might be in the plans with Allegheny, Penn State Behrend or Penn State Altoona. The three-sport standout said she’s always on the move and doesn’t like to have down time. “I like to be active, so my schedule with athletics and academics really fits me,” Tsambis said. “When the soccer season ended a few weeks before basketball season, I was in the gym with the team getting ready and getting focused. I am always looking for ways to better myself and take advantage of the time I am given to do that.” Chaparro was a key component for a small-rostered Raiders squad that moved up to Class 2A and returned to the WPIAL playoffs for the eighth year in a row. She finished second on the team in scoring at 14.1 points per game and added 7.6 rebounds a contest. She scored in double figures 14 times with a season-best 25 in the close WPIAL first-round loss to Rochester. The only returning starter from last year’s WPIAL Class A runner-up and state qualifier, Richter helped a younger St. Joseph squad maintain its winning ways both in and out of section play. She averaged a team-best 16.2 points per game and despite her diminutive height, she led the team in rebounds at 8.4 a game. Richter also averaged 3.8 steals and 3.8 assists for a Spartans squad that reached the WPIAL quarterfinals before making a return trip to the PIAA tournament. The Foxes were a competitive force in Section 1-5A against rivals Franklin Regional, Plum and Shaler, and Schaffer was one of the big reasons why. The first-team section all-star played all 23 games for Fox Chapel and led the way in scoring at 15.6 points a game. She also shot a team-best 41.7% from the field and 78.4% (80 for 102) from the free-throw line. West kept up her strong play for the Mustangs after a breakout freshman season and helped her team finish tied with Fox Chapel for third in a competitive Section 1-5A and reach the WPIAL playoffs. She matured into Plum’s leading scorer at 13 points a game and was at the top of the team stat list in assists and rebounds. For her efforts, she was selected to the Section 1 all-star first team. Woody was the lone returning starter for a Golden Rams squad that had several players step into larger roles. Woody assumed the responsibility of a top scorer, and she didn’t disappoint by averaging 20.2 points to go along with 12.1 rebounds, four assists and five steals for a Highlands squad which survived the rigors of a challenging Section 1-4A to make the WPIAL playoffs.
